Mirrored black-and-white photographic portraits depict George Jackson, a man with dark skin, flanking a vertical strip of repeating uniformed figures. Symmetrically layered over the portraits are pale cutouts of a bald, nude man wearing round spectacles and cradling a pink bulldog in a red-and-black harness. Cursive text at the bottom reads: "George Jackson Sept. 23, 1941–Aug 21, 1971" and "He was free for a while _".
